This is a drawing of a street scene. The image features a winding street filled with figures, depicted in monochromatic tones. The architecture includes closely packed buildings with flat facades and rows of windows. People can be seen walking or standing on the street, casting shadows in the dim light. The composition leads to a horizon with hills and a sky filled with clouds. Crosshatched lines are used to show texture and tone.
